Day/Weight/Comment

12/29 138.2 Have a slight cold, so stayed home by the fire and relaxing. Next week I’ll get back to the gym!
12/30 138.4 Creeping up slowly. But still happy with this for the Christmas period, next week back on track and back to gym. 2018 will be the year I get rid of the extra 10lbs I’ve been carrying!!

1/4 137.6 wow so surprised at this but very pleased! Have had a cold last few days and have not really logged much. New Year's Eve was a huge pig out so yay bring on 2018!!
1/5 So totally forgot to weigh myself.... Again! The next round I will do better, back to the gym next week. Even though my weight is ok’ish my jeans I put on this morning feel tight! I know I’ve lost muscle and not as ‘toned’ anymore.
1/6 -
1/7 137.2 very surprised with this. Lots of wine and nibbles last night! Will be starting Transform App tomorrow and back to the gym!

am going to jump in mid-challenge if that is o.k. I did these 10 day challenges for a while last spring, but really let myself go throughout the fall, and even more since Thanksgiving. I have started to eat lots of "crap" again and stopped logging. As a result, I am currently just under 149 pounds, from a low of 137 last April. I started at 193 in July of 2016. I'd like to get back down to 140 in the next 2 months. I joined a gym in late November, but have not been going. I am committing to change to be healthier, in both the amount and quality of food I eat, and in getting regular exercise.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 148.9
1/3 146.6 (well that is a nice start!; 65 minutes on elliptical; only ate back about 100 calories; lots of water)
1/4 145.5 (45 min elliptical; 35 min body pump class (too hard to do whole class- must have had a bit of water weight as I weighed over 149 on the 1st)
1/5 144.6 (40 min elliptical)
1/6 144.3 (60 min elliptical; eating back some, but not all exercise calories; looks like I might be getting closer to my real fat gain from the fall- about 4 pounds I think. If I get back to 140 in a few weeks, I will be very happy. )
1/7 144.8 (25 min elliptical; 40 min body pump class; high sodium Kirkland Chicken Tortilla Soup)

"Loss" of 4.1 pounds. I'm sure it's water weight to lose that fast, but happy nonetheless. So, I've gained about 8 pounds from my lowest weight. I'll be satisfied to get to 140 in a month or two, and then need to work hard to stay there.

If it is okay I am joining this challenge a little late!

1/3- 239.8. Ate well yesterday, but was too scared to go on the scale after the holidays. Soon. here's another crack at this.
1/4 - 238.4 lbs. Doing well so far. Stayed below 1600 with 6.5 km under my belt.
1/5 - 238.2 lbs. Unexpected tom (it's 2 weeks early?) so any loss is good.
1/6 - 236.8 lb. hit my 10 k step goal yesterday (thanks to work). Bye water weight.
1/7 - 236.4 lbs only did 9 k steps today and used up those calories. Good start to the new year atleast!

I've cut back on carbs the past couple of days. I don't plan to go too low - aiming for 40 net carbs/day - and about 90 grams protein, the rest good fats. I have to say that the fats are making me MUCH less hungry, so my calories are actually lower. New go-to breakfast -- half cup liguid egg whites microwaved with an ounce of aged Havarti cheese. YUM!

12/30 - 148.8
Moving the right direction - yay!

12/31- 148.6
This is a lovely surprise - not because I haven't been eating properly (I have), but last night my hubby made "fiesta chicken" with a seasoning packet (McCormick) and I almost couldn't eat it because of the salt. Holy sodium blast, Batman! I drank a ton of water all evening and knew I was retaining a lot of it, so I thought I'd be up this morning Yippee yay! (And no, he won't be buying any more seasoning packets without checking sodium!)
HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL!

1/1 - 148.6
I just realized I had a typo yesterday - I was down, not up. And there again today. Good start to a bright (if cold) new year.

1/2 - 148.4
I can't seem to keep my carbs as low as I'd hoped (40 g net), but they're lower than they were, and that seems to be working. Feeling good!

1/3 - 148.8
AAACCCKKKKK! No, really, it's ok, because I've been right on track so I know it isn't real. But still....

1/4 - 148.8
I'm getting a bit frustrated. I've cut my carbs back to 20-30% and calories to 1400-1500, and I'm walking 30-60 min/day. No idea why it's so slow, other than I was 145-150 for years way back when.

1/5 - 148.6
Inchworm, inchworm....

1/6 - 149
Sodium, maybe. I'm sooooo frustrated.

1/7 - 149
Onward.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29: 178.8 Walked for 6.5 miles and road my bike for 6.6. Day 1 of 100 mi. in 10 Days Challenge= 13.1
12/30: 177 —100mi in 10 Days Total= 22.01 walking and biking
12/31: 177.6— 100 mi in 10 Days Total= 33.23
1/1: 178.6— 100 mi in 10 Days Challenge: Day 4= 13.39; Total so far= 46.62 Back to eating right today, I hope!
1/2: 176.8— Woot Woot!!! Moving in the right direction again. 100 mi in 10 Days Challenge: Day 5= 4.63; Total so far= 51.25 This frigid weather and being away from my gym may make this challenge more difficult than I had intended for it to be. It's not supposed to be this cold in Florida, and all my warm coats are at home.
1/3: 175.4—Yay! Now if I can just not creep back up by the end of the round! Would be good to keep losing!
100 mi in 10 Days Challenge: Day 6= 14.39 walking and biking; Total so far= 65.64 mi
1/4: 175 Splurged yesterday and had fried grouper nuggets, but made myself go to the gym in the evening. Success!
100 mi in 10 Days Challenge: Day 7= 9.5 walking, indoor treadmill and cycling; Total so far= 75.14
1/5: 174.4 Took my longest bike ride in several years today on the Pinellas Trail. Felt SO good! I’m below my goal for this round if I can just keep it down. 100 mi in 10 Days Challenge: Day 8= 16.15 bike ride; Total so far= 91.29
1/6: 173.4 All this bike riding and walking along with eating fresh fish while on vacation in Florida is working, but back to reality tomorrow. Flight back to Tennessee leaves early in the morning. I’ll have to find another way to burn calories. Will complete the 100 mi challenge today with one last ride on the Pinellas Trail.
100 mi in 10 Days Challenge: Day 9= 6.61 mi bike ride; Total so far= 97.9
1/7 174.4 I thought yesterday was a fluke, so this makes more sense. 100 mi in 10 Days Challenge: Day 10= 10.79 mi; Challenge Total =108.69

I'm new to this but have always been a "daily weigher" to see trends, so I'm really excited to find this group!

12/29 175 Ate within calories.
12/30 174.8
12/31. 174.8 no party plans which should help with food temptation. We’ll see who wins out ! or

2018 Happy New Year!
1/1 175.8 glad to have 6 more days to improve.
1/2 175
1/3. 174.8
1/4 174.8 saw that if i continue eating this way, in 5 weeks I wont be in the 160’s, so I really need to eat only 1200 calories and walk more.
1/5 didnt weigh— this week has shown me “good intentions” wont get me to my goal. I may have to accept that round 27 ( my first round here) wont be the loss I “hoped” for. I cant do the same next round. . I still have 2 more days... i’ll do my best.
1/6 175 better than a gain
1/7 175 stayed the same...

Never let a stumble in the road be the end of the journey.

"Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do." - Orebela Gbenga

Start 10/18/2017 = 147.9 * Goal = 130.0 and 20 miles/week
Round 27 Start = 135.4

12/29 - 135.4 - Yesterday under calories and a workout. Left ankle a little sore, but I have only 3.25 miles to go to meet December running goals.
12/30 - 135.4 - Yesterday under maintenance, no workout, ankle still sore.
12/31 - 135.0 - Yesterday under maintenance, ran 3.5 to finish December run goals.
1/1 - 135.6 - Yesterday 50 min elliptical, balanced by an unholy number of homemade lemon squares, way over! Happy New Year all, the journey continues!
1/2 - 136.4 - holy lemon squares, batman! However, did get a 7.3 mile long run yesterday, which is the longest in years.
1/3 - 135.4 - one holiday pound away! Yesterday under calories, ran to gym and did 25 minutes on a stairclimber.
About my Mini-Goal 5 of unwrapping my "Under 135" box of workout clothes!! -- I CHEATED a couple of days ago and wore the CW-X tights on my long run. They are A-MAZ-ING
1/4 - 135.4 - I seem to like this number. At least got a walk yesterday at lunch hour, up to maintenance on calories (unplanned ) Today: dental work woo hoo!
1/5 - 133.4 - Whoosh! was not expecting that. Maybe the crown I had replaced yesterday was quite heavy? Today back to working out!

1/6 - 133.6 - under calories yesterday and ran 3.25 miles. Super happy to see the 133's two days in a row! Gym today.

1/7 - 134.0 - over calories a bit yesterday, late night extra snacks. Good workout though.

R27 * Start = 135.4 * Ave = 135.0 * Min = 133.4 * End = 134.0

No thanks needed. I love seeing people join. It's wonderful.

Yay new round!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29- ? - still at home without my scale, still don't know weigh but pants still fit.
12/30 - ? - no scale, still at home
12/31 - ? - no scale, still at home
1/1 - ? - no scale, still at home
1/2 - 227.8 - moment of truth after 9 days at my parent's house with all the old habits that got me where I was, so naturally it's no shocker I'm up basically 9 pounds over the holidays (it's like a pound per day 0.0) but I didn't do much activity and didn't eat well so I'm not surprised. Some is likely water retention and honestly I'm not really bothered because I had a good time and I'm back in the city where I can go back to my usual routine. No regrets, I had an excellent holiday, now back to work.
1/3 - loss - What I like about this thread: posting everyday keeps me accountable and motivated and honestly I think is one reason I've been successful (holidays excluded). What effects me in a less than awesome way: people judging my weight loss. Solution: until I can get over myself, I'll just post a gain or loss in relation to the last day. Staying in the right mindset is important to this journey, actual weight will be posted when it makes sense for me.
1/4 - loss - eating is within bounds but I've been so busy at work that I've been working through lunch, I miss my lunch walks, hopefully next week will be better. In the mantjme I will fucus on what I can do and keep my good intentions.
1/5 - gain - only slightly but that's ok, had a glass of wine yesterday so it makes sense. Goal for the weekend is to get food figure out because there's no way I'm going for a walk when the temperature is -20 to -30 outside. Cold AF buddy, even the pengiuns are hiding inside!
1/6 - loss - how? Ate after 8 with a glass of wine no less (to be fair it's only .2 but clearly the way my body works is still a mistery to me). On the bright side, the bottle is done so all the holiday booze temptations are gone. Praying for the end of this cold snap up here so i can go outside again without freezing off a limb.
1/7 - loss - so what I think happened this round was my body adjusting and correcting form the holiday consumption. I think the number I came home with was mostly water weight because the number dropped relatively quick just by going back to healthy food choices and proper hydration. Don't really understand it, but I'm gaining more self knowledge which is positive. Also, planned out all my meals form the week, bought all the food and chopped anything tonight so this week is going to be awesome! I'm proud of that, meals planning is still new for me and it's still hard.
